Android Contacts: how to get contact list with first name, last name and a picture



Is there a way to get all device contacts (aggregated, not raw) with contact ID, fist/last name, and contact picture?





Currently I am using the code below but it does not return structured name:







private static final String CONTACTS_SORT_ORDER = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";



// all contacts

public final String[] columns = {

ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,

ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,

ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI};



c = contentResolver.query(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, CONTACTS_SORT_ORDER);







Thanks

  1. It is not possible to fetch the required data with one query. For each contact ID you'll have to query its Data directory:

    Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
    Uri dataUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri, Contacts.Data.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);


    Then you should run queries against this URI, filtering MIMETYPE by StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE to obtain StructuredName for the given ID.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
